1. DESCRIPTION
1.01 Introduction
The Domina 102 is defi ned as a “room sealed” combination boiler, all air required for combustion is taken from
outside the room in which it is installed. It is a new high performance gas fi red heat generator for central heating and
domestic hot water production. A special feature of this boiler is its built-in electronic fl ame ignition and control unit
making burner operation completely automatic and safe. The main components are as follows:
• Copper heat exchanger consisting of three fi nned tubes specifi cally shaped for high effi ciency.
• There are three copper coils inserted in the three heating circuit tubes. These represent the domestic hot water heat
exchanger. Their shape and high exchange surface area enable the full output of the boiler to be absorbed.
• Ceramic fi bre insulated combustion chamber
• 16 stainless steel bladed burners specifi cally designed for this boiler.
• Fan for discharge of combustion products and intake of combustion air.
• Differential air pressure switch. For safety reasons, this ensures the burner ignites only when the fan
is functioning correctly.
• Hermetically sealed compartment made from corrosion-resistant steel enclosing the above components.
• Combination gas safety valve with modulator, complete with pressure stabiliser.
• Flowmeter giving the domestic hot water circuit precedence over the central heating circuit.
• Pressure relief valve for the central heating circuit set to open at 3 bar.
• Built-in Expansion vessel.
• Variable speed pump.
• Central heating fl ow temperature adjustment thermostat.
• Domestic hot water fl ow temperature adjustment thermostat.
• Central heating limit thermostat.
• Overheat safety thermostat.
• Electronic control unit for automatic fl ame ignition and control.
• Central heating low water pressure cut off switch.
• Domestic hot water fl ow temperature sensor.
• Central heating fl ow temperature sensor.
• Safety bracket

N.B. - The gas pressures at the burner and gas fl ows during the central heating phase given in the table refer
to nominal boiler output. To reduce this output (where necessary), gas pressure must be reduced until the
required output level is reached (see fi gures 4 and 5).
During domestic hot water production, gas pressures to the burner must correspond to the maximum
output given in table for the type of gas.
Gas pressure must be adjusted during maximum draw-off of domestic hot water.
• Maximum working temperature for central heating fl ow: 85°C
• Maximum temperature of domestic hot water: 55°C, adjustable between 40°C and 55°C.
• Minimum domestic cold water pressure required for 95% heat input:
- Flow restrictor fi tted (standard) - 1,2 bar;
- Flow restrictor removed - 0,5 bar

2.04 Central heating adjustment (not normally required)
To adjust boiler heat input (thus also regulating heat output to the central heating water) simply adjust the main
burner via the electronic control board (fi g. 4, 5 and see paragraph 5.04 page 24).
The diagrams indicate the variation in heat output to the water as burner working pressure is varied.
Adjusting boiler output to the actual requirements of the central heating system will minimise boiler cycling thus saving
fuel, varying the output has virtually no effect on the effi ciency and combustion characteristics of the boiler.

3. INSTALLATION DETAILS
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1996
In the interest of safety, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance
with the above Regulations, Building Regulations/Building Standards Scotland, Codes of Practice, current I.E.E.
Regulations and the byelaws of the Local Water Undertaking. Failure to comply with the Regulations may lead to
prosecution; it is your responsibility to ensure that the law is complied with.
N.B. For Northern Ireland the rules in force apply.
Important - If the boiler is to be fi tted in a timber framed building it should be fi tted in accordance with the Institute of
Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7. If in doubt advice should be sought from the Local Supplier.
Location of Boiler
The installation of the Domina 102 must be on a suitable non-combustible load bearing wall which will provide
an adequate fi xing for the boiler mounting safety bracket assembly. The location should be in an area where
the water pipes will not be subjected to frost conditions. In siting the combination boiler the following
limitations must be observed:
The combination boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention is drawn
to the requirements of the current I.E.E. wiring regulations and in Scotland the electrical provisions of the
building regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the combination boiler in a room
or internal space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower any electrical switch
or appliance control utilising mains electricity must be situated so that it cannot be touched by a person
using the bath or shower.
Air Supply
The room or compartment in which the boiler is installed does not require a purpose provided vent when
using the standard concentric fl ue.
Flue System
The boiler allows the fl ue outlet to be taken from the rear of the boiler, from either side or vertically.
A standard fl ue length of 0.75 metres is provided. Alternative lengths of two or three metres can be supplied
(equivalent to wall thicknesses of up to 565, 1815 and 2815mm for rear fl ues, deduct 91mm plus distance from side
wall for side outlet fl ues). It is absolutely essential, to ensure that products of combustion discharging from the
terminal cannot re-enter the building, or enter any adjacent building, through ventilations, windows, doors,
natural air infi ltration or forced ventilation/air conditioning.
Gas Supply
If necessary the local Gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to establish
the availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the Local Gas supplier.
A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas supplier, or by a Local Gas suppliers Contractor.
Installation pipes should be fi tted in accordance with BS6891-1988.
Appliance inlet working pressure must be 20mbar MINIMUM, for NG and 37 mbar minimum for LPG.
Pipework from the meter to the combination boiler must be of an adequate size.
The boiler requires 3.5 m3/h of natural gas, and 2.60 kg/h of LPG.
Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the combination boiler inlet gas connection.
The complete installation must be tested for gas soundness and purged as described in BS6981-1988. All pipework
must be adequately supported. An isolating gas valve is provided and should be fi tted on the boiler gas inlet.
Please wait 10 minutes when lighting from cold before checking gas rate. Gas pressures should be checked after
the boiler has operated for 10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium.
Water System
Note - the boiler is designed for sealed systems only and must NOT be used on open vented systems.
DOMINA 102
10
Central Heating
Detailed recommendations are given in BS6798, BS5449, BS6700 and CP342 Part 2. Pipework not forming part
of the useful heating suface should be insulated to prevent any heat losses or possible freezing (i.e. in roof spaces
or ventilated underfl oor spaces). Drain taps should be positioned at the lowest point of the system in accessible
locations to permit the whole system to be drained down. The drain taps should be in accordance with BS2879. Copper
tubing to BS2871, Part 1 is recommended for water carrying pipework. Pipework in horizontal runs should have a
gradient where possible to facilitate the removal of air. Ensure that the boiler heat exchanger is not a natural point for
air collection. A typical heating system with domestic hot water circuit is illustrated in fi g. 8.
Important - If thermostatic radiator vales are fi tted a bypass must be fi tted to ensure a minimum fl ow rate through
the boiler of 6 l/min. The bypass should be fi tted as far as possible from the boiler.
Make Up Water
Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798,
for methods of fi lling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's
central heating system and the mains water supply. The use of mains water to charge and pressurise the system
directly, is conditional upon the Local Water Byelaws. Again any such connection must be disconnected after use.
A typical temporary fi lling loop is shown in fi g. 9.
Domestic Hot Water
Always fi t a scale reducer in "hard water areas" (18 clarke degrees or over)". A 15mm copper connection point on the
boiler for attaching to the main supply is provided. The maximum domestic water pressure for the inlet supply is 10 bar
(145 P.S.I.). If the cold mains supply exceeds 5 bar (72 P.S.I.), a water governor or pressure reducing valve must be
fi tted by the installer into the mains supply in an inconspicuous but accessible position preferable between 3 and 5 metres
(10-16ft) before the appliance. Such a valve must be approved by the Water Research Council.
Attention - is drawn to the Model Water Byelaws.
Fittings manufactured from duplex (alpha-beta) brass are not acceptable for underground use and certain water
undertakings will not accept their use above ground.
Ensure all pipework is adequately supported
NOTE: A bypass must be fi tted as far as possible
from the boiler if thermostatic radiator valves are
fi tted thoughout.

Notes on concentric horizontal installation
To locate the centre of the hole for passing the pipes
through the wall, refer to fi g. 12b. Bear in mind that
the two concentric pipes must slope downwards
away from the boiler at a rate of about 3 mm/m to
avoid rainwater entering the boiler. The concentric
pipes making up the air - fl ue gas duct must be sealed
with the gasket where they join the boiler (fi g. 16).
Outside, the pipes should protrude from the wall
between 10 and 60 mm (fi g. 16).

3.04 Top Outlet: Two Pipe Flue System
3.04.1 Two pipe connection
Two separate ducts Ø80 for air intake and fl ue gas
discharge can be directly connected to the boiler.
For conversion mount the separate outlet kit 1 to
top outlet (see 3.03)
Insert blanking plate 2
in remaining air intake
Connect fl ue duct to central hole Ø80 and air duct to left or right air intake hole Ø80. Insert blanking
plate 2 in remaining air intake.
A varied selection of accessories for two pipe systems are available from Ferroli (ref. to page 17). Before
installing your system please check via calculation table at 3.04.2 you are not exceeding the maximum
permissible length for the appliance.
IMPORTANT:
Notes on two pipe system installation:
When using the two pipe system the fl ue discharge pipe must have a 25mm air gap when passing through combustible
materials. Where the fl ue discharge pipe passes through the airing space of an airing cupboard it must be protected
by a non combustible guard or expanded metal giving an annular air gap of at least 25mm.
Where the fl ue discharge pipe passes through a wall containing cavity insulation, a non combustible sleeve must
be fi tted. Additionally a gap of 25mm between the sleeve and the insulation should be provided by cutting
back the insulation or packing loose fi ll bead insulation with mineral fi bre. Where the fl ue pipe is run
through an unheated roof space it should be insulated with non combustible insulating material to prevent
condensation. The fl ue pipe should be supported at intervals of not more than 1.8m and the support
should be preferably below a joint.
3.04.2 Two pipe fl ue system
To determine the maximum length of fl ue and air pipe permissible.
The calculation is based on a standard reference resistance of 1 metre of 80 mm horizontal air intake pipe. For
every confi guration of the two-pipe system all components will have a resistance factor based upon this reference.
(I.e. a 90 degree bend fi tted in the fl ue line would attract a resistance factor equivalent to 2.5 Metres of horizontal
80mm pipe). This is expressed as X metres. Each boiler will have a maximum equivalent length of fl ue/air pipe
and this is shown in the table as N metres. Therefore when calculating the proposed fl ue run the equivalent
resistance of every length of pipe and every bend, whether air intake or fl ue discharge is added together to
give an actual total fl ue length. The fi nal fi gure calculated must not exceed the permitted maximum length
(N metres) for each boiler type.
Calculation Routine
1. Identify all the components needed to complete the proposed fl ue/air pipe run.
2. Calculate the sum of all the equivalent lengths (see table at next page).
3. For boilers, which may require a fl ue restrictor, refer to table at page 13 (par. 3.02) to ascertain the correct
size and add this resistance to your total.
4. Check and verify that the total fl ue/air pipe length (fl ow resistance) does not exceed 50 mt. maximum
permitted for Domina 102.
IMPORTANT: Resistance factors apply to standard férroli components only.

3.05 Connecting the central heating and domestic hot water circuits
Connect to the relevant connections as indicated in fi g. 1. Connect the pressure relief valve discharge pipe
(15mm) to the outside of the building, where possible over a drain. The discharge must be such that it will not
be hazardous to occupants and passers-by or cause damage to external electric components or wiring. The
pipe should be directed towards the wall. To ensure long life, the heating circuit should be correctly sized and
fi tted with all the controls necessary to ensure correct functioning and operation. The differential between
the boiler fl ow and return pipes should not be more than 20°C. You are advised not to use the boiler
with return temperatures of less than 50°C in order to prevent patches of condensation forming, having a
corrosive effect on boiler components.
3.06 Boiler water characteristics
If the water is harder than 18 clarke degrees, the water used should be treated to avoid possible scale in the
boiler caused by hard water or corrosion by aggressive water. It should be remembered that as a result of its
low thermal conductivity, even scale of just a few millimetres thick can lead to considerable overheating of
the boiler walls, resulting in serious problems.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL THAT THE WATER USED IS TREATED IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
a) Extensive systems (containing large quantities of water);
b) Frequent additions of water to top-up the system;
c) Domestic hot water circuits
If the system requires partial or total emptying, you are recommended to refi ll it with treated water.
3.07 Filling
When cold, system pressure should be about 1 bar. If while running venting off of air dissolved in the water causes
the pressure of the central heating system to drop below 0.5 bar, the user must utilise a fi lling loop to bring it
back to the original value. During operation, water pressure in the boiler when hot should be about 1.5 - 2 bars.
After fi lling, always close and disconnect the fi lling loop.
Note - If there is a possibility of air pockets forming in certain points of the central heating system fl ow and return
pipes, you are recommended to fi t an air vent valve at these points.
Note - When the boiler is installed below the level of the central heating a system, single check valve should be
fi tted in the fl ow to prevent gravity circulation around the heating system.
3.08 Gas connection
Gas connection should be carried out using a rigid pipe.
The fl ow at the gas meter should be suffi cient for the simultaneous use at full gas rate of all appliances
connected to it. Connect the gas supply to the boiler according to current regulations. The diameter of
the gas tube leaving the boiler is not the determining factor in choosing the diameter of the pipe between
the appliance and the meter. This must be selected in relation to length and pressure drop and in any
instance should not be less than 22mm.
The whole of the gas installation including the meter should be inspected and tested for soundness and
purged in accordance with BS6891-1988.
N.B. - The fi lling loop will be fi tted by the installer at the time of installing the system. It is NOT a
part of the boiler.
3.09 Electrical connection
The boiler must be connected to a single phase 230 V 50 Hz electricity supply with a 3 A max. fuse and a bipolar
switch with contact opening of at least 3 mm fi tted between the boiler and the electricity supply. The boiler must
always be connected to an effi cient earth installation. Under the electrical box, there is a 3 pole terminal block for
connecting the boiler to the mains (230 V 50 Hz) and a 2 pole board for connecting a room thermostat (RT). To connect,
undo the screws fi xing the terminal block box and connect the wires, ensuring correct polarity of the terminals. It
should be noted that there is low voltage (24 V) between the room thermostat contacts.
DOMINA 102
20
When the boiler is connected to an electricity main, it is essential TO OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITIES (LIVE:
brown cable, NEUTRAL: blue cable, EARTH: yellow-green cable).
All wiring must conform to current I.E.E. regulations.
Note: If the power supply cable has to be replaced, use “0.75mm (24/0.20) heat resisting cable only to
BS6500 with a maximum external diameter of 8 mm.
Note - When connecting a room thermostat or external timer, do not link the power supply of these devices
to the switching contacts. The switch contacts must be voltage free. Any mains powered devices must utilise
mains power solely to drive the timer motor.
Applying mains voltage to the switch contacts will irreparably damage the circuit board.
Although this boiler can also be used without a room thermostat, you are recommended to install one
for the following reasons:
Greater comfort conditions due to more accurate control of room temperature.
Greater energy savings.
3.10 Differential air pressure switch (fi g. 2 - part 43)
The differential air pressure switch is a safety device which allows the main burner to ignite only after having
verifi ed that the fan is working correctly. If the difference in pressure between the fl ue gas discharge pipe and the
air intake pipe is not at least equal to the minimum pressure switch calibration value, the pressure switch contacts
do not close and the gas valve is thus prevented from opening.
In addition, the electrical circuit of the boiler is designed so that if for any reason the air pressure switch contacts
remain closed when the fan stops, the burner will not start up again.
3.11 Checks
Fill the central heating system as described previously (3.07) and check there are no leaks in the domestic hot
water and boiler water circuits. Check that there are no gas leaks on the boiler or the supply to the boiler. Also
check that the electrical connections are correct.
3.12 Installing a room thermostat (72) (fi g. 21b)
To connect the thermostat:
Open the electrical box on the base of the appliance and remove the “jumper cable” between terminals
3 and 4.
Connect the room thermostat (72) as shown in fi gure 21b.
